There are some bizarre films being named in this thread, but I can't let this one slide. It's not much fun to watch these days maybe, but its production helped to completely transform Hollywood.
These threads are always a nonsense. It's basically people posting popular films they don't like.
Ok to this point, I would argue that Wes Anderson movies are smug. That they give a select bunch of pretentious assholes a feeling of belonging by making them think they're smarter than everyone else cos they 'get' his humour. Yet he remains a shit storyteller, and his scripts are so self-indulgent that i can only assume he rolls them up and performs fellatio on them once he's finished writing.
Further, I've yet to hear anyone explain why the Darjeeling Limited is anything other than self-indulgent, nonsensical claptrap. Until that happens, I'm going to remain convinced that any ratings given over 2/5 for his movies (with the possible exception of Mr Fox, which I haven't seen) are over-ratings, thus his movies are overrated.
Comments
Donnie Darko, emo hipster bollocks
Any (other than the 1st) Harry Potter movies
As for individual films.
Fight Club
North by Northwest
Citizen Kaine
All overrated in my opinion
North by Northwest and Citizen Kane are classics
